Iron Ash
The lie is centuries old.
Mason Marlow was born under it. Below the poisoned surface, below the runners who die retrieving relics from its ruins, below every question you learn not to ask — and above it all, impossible and glittering, floats Caelis. The city that decides who breathes.
Mason has kept his head down for seventeen years. Kept his sister alive. Asked nothing loud enough to be answered.
Then a run he wasn't meant to survive puts something in his hands he wasn't meant to find.
Something buried under centuries of silence.
The city doesn't punish men who ask questions.
It buries them.

Would recommend to anyone that’s a fan of books with dystopian settings.
I am a sucker for those kind of books so this is right in my wheel house. Truly a great read about a character who’s trying to find out the truths his father was on the track of discovering.
